or Job 6:2 (a) Certain it is that the loving GOD of Heaven knows just how much sorrow we can bear. He says about our griefs, pains and troubles "thus far shalt thou go, and no farther." He never deals unjustly with His people.
Psalm 58:2 (a) It seems that these wicked men planned deliberately to accomplish certain evil purposes, and decided on the limits of their wicked plans and intentions.
Isaiah 26:7 (a) GOD is well acquainted with every detail of our lives, and He knows the value of what we are doing, what we are saying, where we are going, and our manner of life. He makes a record of this to use at the Judgment Seat.
Isaiah 40:12 (a) It is an actual fact that all chemical elements are put together by weight, and not by volume. So, in every mountain and hill, the chemicals that compose that mass of earth are put together by weight, and thus are made the various compounds found there. In addition to this, GOD must know the weight of the mountains, because the earth is a ball and must rotate on an axis without bursting and flying to pieces. It is well known that nothing will rotate safely on an axis unless it is perfectly balanced. Our Lord has therefore determined exactly the weights of the mountains, the plains, the oceans, and every part of this earth in order that it may rotate safely.
Daniel 5:27 (a) Before we die, and while we are still living, GOD estimates the value and the worth of each soul. This king had been placed in GOD's scales while he was still living and serving on the throne. The estimate of his value was made before he died. This is true of every human being. The decision concerning our destiny is made by GOD while we are still living. This should make us seriously consider our relationship to GOD.
